Fire On The Stoney Ridge Live

What happens here

The vlogger explains the cause of the fire spreading. He demonstrates that the wind was constantly shifting, initially blowing towards the pond, then shifting directions several times, eventually blowing a hot ember across the road. This resulted in the fire spreading beyond the intended brush piles. He admits to trying to fight the fire themselves, which he describes as 'not very smart' due to the huge plume of smoke, and emphasizes the danger the smoke posed.

Goal: Detail how the fire spread and highlight the dangers encountered.
